RAINN music



Tori Amos (born Myra Ellen Amos,[1] August 22, 1963[2]) is an American singer-songwriter and pianist. She is a classically trained musician with a mezzo-soprano vocal range.[8]

 Having already begun composing instrumental pieces on piano, Amos won a full scholarship to the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University at the age of five, the youngest person ever to have been admitted.

 She was expelled at the age of eleven for what Rolling Stone described as "musical insubordination."

In June 1994, the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), a toll-free help line in the US connecting callers with their local rape crisis center, was founded. 

Amos, who was raped when she was 21,[71] answered the ceremonial first call to launch the hotline.[72] She was the first national spokesperson for the organization and has continued to be closely associated with RAINN.
